Naan Khatai Or An Egg Less Cookie

Today is really a happy day for me because this one is my 100th post in my blog. When I started blogging I thought it’s never going to cross more than 50. It’s really a difficult task for me to maintain a blog with a 14 month old baby but anyhow I am able to manage my duty and passion together.Today I am posting my century recipe. I am really glad and overwhelmed with all the support from my Husband and all my lovely friends, who encouraged me from the beginning. And whenever my friends tell that they cooked my recipe and it turned out really good the feelings is something different. I just want to say my family and friends that just be with me, many more to come.

Today I made Naankhatai a Cookie without eggs. This Naan Khatai is very famous biscotti in Surat, Gujrat. Very easy to make with only few Ingredients which is easily available at home. And perfect for Tea or Cofee.

This is the first time I prepared something like that, so while making I was really nervous. But the end result is really appreciated. So my Christmas starts with my first baking Biscotti. The taste is really good you can try at home.
